The Energy Minister of Ukraine, Igor Nasalik predicted the energy collapse in the state, if the blockade of the DPR and LPR is stopped. 

In addition, the minister said that if the miners were deprived of salaries, they would join the ranks of the armed forces of the People's Republics of Donbass. 

‘If these people are deprived of their right to exist, 60 thousands will take arms and join the ranks of illegal armed groups, and this blood will in our country,’ warned Nasalik. 

The Ukrainian nationalist gangs have blocked yet another branch of the railway.
